It needs some sexy cranks and you need to lose those american classic stickers... 8)

For the rest nice little bike.

Hi,

Mooie bike! ik heb er ook eentje, ook met Tune wielen (1240 gr).

Je moet alleen aan 1 ding denken: je kan met dit frame niet bredere banden hebben dan 2.1 . dit omdat Isaac een fout heeft gemaakt met de constructie van de achterbrug. Het valt je vast wel op dat de buizen naar het mannetje (schuin naar boven) een veel bredere doorgang hebben. mocht je frame doorslijten doordat je je 2.25 erop houdt (volgens mij heb je 2.25) dan is dit GEEN garantie !!!

oplossing: naar de LBS gaan, en aanvraag doen voor garantieframe (begin volgend jaar). Dan kun jij ook weer ongestoord van je mooie Isaac genieten!

Shit, I wrote it in dutch.. sorry.

Short translation:
Nice bike! I have the same, also with tune wheels (1240 gr).

There is one thing you have to consider. You can't ride this frame with tires wider then 2.1 . This because of a engineering ehh mistake(?) of Isaac. The rearstay is too small. In case of an broken frame caused by the wear of the tire it is NOT garanteed. You can solve this problem by asking your LBS to report this and ask for an new frame.

Cheers.

I am sorry but I got different information. I have the same frame and I was told when buying that there was a limitation on tire width.
The Dutch distibutor will not change the frames under guarantee since all buyers are aware of this limitation.

Nice setup. My Isaac Impact 20.5 " is full XTR with Crossmax SLR, Fizik Tundra and Magura Durin 100R. I will post here soon (have to finish the build first)

at bikemotion ive been to isaac.
what the guy told me:

if you bought the frame for €800 (like it's now) you don't get a new frame.
but when you bought it before, and payed €1200 you have right at a new frame.
and i run 2.1 racing ralph.

little update:

becker carbon saddle
bar ends removed
racing ralph in the front
furious fret back
and I send the tune crank back to tune for another spider. hope it's back soon

weight is about 9.1 - 9.2 kilo
